re: #72 oaktree

You just have to wonder how much abuse of students they saw in school. They riffed on it constantly in their material.

I still think one of their best segues was in _The Meaning of Life_ where it jumped from the masters vs students rugby game straight to a World War I battlefield. I also see that as a riff on the famous “The battle of Waterloo was won on the fields of Eton” quote.

I never thought of that! True.

What about the sex lesson where John Cleese, as the professor, has sex with his wife in the classroom? I think the Meaning of Life, but I get them mixed up. Not sure how that fits in with your theory, though lol
